Unfortunately I'm pretty busy with work at the moment so it might take a while. I also ran into some issues with the regulator that I got for part 2, so I still need figure that out as well.
Hi man, thanks for the video. I am making a portable co2 incubator and also quickly found out that the sensor you ordered and the pellinglab sensor are the only two viable options for a co2 sensor. I was wondering if you think that the pellinglab sensor would be worth the extra money, especially considering that power consumption is a major factor. Thanks and I hope to see part 2 soon :))
I'm not sure about the power consumption of the Sandbox Electronics sensor, but the ExploreIR sensor specifically states it's suited for battery powered setups. Since the ExploreIR isn't that much more expensive I'd probably choose it for your application.
Hello Qosmos, I have ordered CO2 from Ali express and I have not found the I2C/Uart module there, now I am wondering how can I use it, I have configured the UART setup by connecting 4 wires of MH-z16 with 4-pins of Arduino (GND = GND, Vcc=Vcc, Tx=Rx, Rx=Tx), and Arduino connect with TTL. But when I tried to upload the code its not working. is there any way to connect MH-z16 with Arduino directly?? please reply to me as soon as possible?
@@qosmoschem for Uart I have added ( NDIR_SoftwareSerial.cpp and NDIR_SoftwareSerial.h) in the library folder and I am using the example given under NDIR_SoftwareSerial folder. program compiles fine, but when I start to upload it, it's not uploading. if I separate the MH-z16 from the Arduino program, the program flash in Arduino perfectly but as I connect it with Mh-z16 it fails to upload the sketch. do my wiring is fine. I only connect 4 UART pins to MH-z16 with 4-pins of Arduino?
@@qosmoschem actually what I am trying to say is: in your video you first connect CO2 sensor with I2C/Uart module with a 7-pin header from which you can select the uart or I2C wiring by simply moving the button. but i don't have that I2C/Uart module, I directly connect my CO2 sensor with Arduino by only 4 pins out of 7, the other 3 pins are not used. so is this the problem my program is not uploading?
Ok I understand now. Yes, you probably need the module then. It may be possible to use the sensor without the module and connect directly to the arduino, but not with the libraries I've linked. You might have to code your own library in that case.
Great video, when will part 2 be out?

Good..👍

You probably need to install the libraries for I2C or UART. github.com/SandboxElectronics/NDIR

Sorry I can't really troubleshoot your error remotely. If you followed the wiring shown in the video it should work. Only 4 pins are required.
